D3 Global, a web3 domain name company, has introduced top-level domain names specifically for the ApeCoin community.

ApeChain and .APE Domain Names

In an announcement on October 22, D3 Global revealed that the ApeCoin ecosystem can now utilize the .APE top-level domain names on the newly-launched layer-2 solution, ApeChain. The Ape Names initiative marks the first step towards creating an interoperable name service for the crypto project’s users.

Community-Approved Domain Names

The launch of .APE domain names follows a proposal approved by the ApeCoin community earlier this year. This decision aligns with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers’ (ICANN) plans to introduce new generic top-level domains (TLDs) over the next two years.

According to D3’s announcement, the introduction of .APE TLDs allows users to purchase and use tokenized Ape Names as web3 identifiers. This feature is available ahead of the next ICANN application round.

Utilizing Tokenized Names

ApeCoin holders can use these tokenized names for various purposes, including:

  • Email addresses
  • Wallet addresses
  • Decentralized infrastructure identifiers
  • Web3 usernames

“There is an imminent need for a comprehensive, all-in-one name solution that not only facilitates the growth of the APE brand and community, but also ensures futureproof utility for users. The APE Foundation is excited to partner closely with D3 to build the future of the internet together for Apes by Apes,” said Gerard Hernandez, APE Foundation special council.

D3 will initially offer .APE domain names to token holders, with availability to the general public to follow.

D3’s Role in the Blockchain Community

Currently, D3 is a domain partner for several blockchain user communities, including Shiba Inu, Magic Eden, NEAR Protocol, Own The Doge, and Core DAO.

Other Players in the Domain Name Space

Besides D3, other companies contributing to the domain name space for crypto users include GoDaddy, Ethereum Name Service (ENS), and Unstoppable Domains. Earlier this year, GoDaddy and ENS collaborated to bring .eth domain names to the community.
